„Im Wald zwei Wege boten sich mir dar, und ich ging den, der weniger betreten war.“ Dieser Satz des amerikanischen Poeten Robert Frost könnte wohl als Motto für die Irin Eleanor McEvoy herhalten. Unbeirrt macht sie all das, was sie künstlerisch interessiert, und sorgt damit in der Fachwelt und bei ihren Fans zuweilen gehörig für Verwirrung. Und das seit fast zwanzig Jahren. Versucht man
jemandem, eine Musikerin nahezubringen, von der das Gegenüber noch nie etwas gehört hat, so lautet verständlicherweise die erste Frage meist: „Und welche Art Musik macht die so?“ Man unternimmt dann den Versuch, den jeweiligen Stil in Worte zu fassen, was zuweilen auch ganz gut gelingen kann. Nicht jedoch bei Eleanor McEvoy. Sie kann rockig, sie kann folkig, sie kann jazzig, sie kann bluesig, sie kann selbst Songs schreiben, aber sie kann auch covern und zwar so, dass man – sogar bei einem Hit – kaum merkt, dass er nicht ihrem geistigen Eigentum zuzurechnen ist. Beinahe jedes ihrer Alben klingt anders. Schon deshalb macht sie es ihren Stammhörern nicht leicht, aber dafür spannend.
It is the eighth album in a twenty year career that has seen McEvoy establish herself as one of Ireland's most accomplished singer / songwriters. Never one to shy away from the big issues, this album sees McEvoy tackling themes such as alienation, hypocrisy, recent Irish history and romance. The songs are typified by a lyrical élan and often leavened with a touch of humour. "For Avoidance Of Any Doubt" features a plaintive soul using her solicitor to berate an absent lover for not returning calls, and the title track is built around a phrase that just made McEvoy laugh!
As she says herself, "I always try to express myself clearly and honestly. I was the odd one, the tubby girl with glasses who had to go to violin lessons after school. The ray of sunlight was the radio with its music. The escape was learning to sing and play instruments and play with others and write and just get out there. Anyway this album is all me, and I am very proud of it." (eleanormcevoy. com)
